Tim: I have never seen a waitress complain so much?
Katie: All you did today was sit around and eat a loaf of bread.

Tom: Quite fighting you two. It's time to close shop and I'm not going to wait for either one of you. Understand?
Katie and Tim unison: Yes boss.
Tom: Best part of my job. (smirking)
(Rolf suddenly bursts in looking tired and in shock)
Tom: Are you alright Rolf?
Tim: What's wrong with you? Did the Great Richard Cory send you here to see how much lesser
we are than him?
Rolf: No (gasping for breath)
Katie: Then what seems to be the problem?
Rolf: It's Richard Cory.
Tim: What's he done now?
Rolf: He has shot himself in the head.
Katie: Is he going to be alright?
Rolf: No found him dead as soon as I got there?
Tim: Hmmm... How so very melodramatic of him.
Tom: What do you mean Tim?
Tim: Don't you get it? This is just an act for more attention.
Katie: How is killing himself an act for more attention.
Tim: He just finally realized today that his little childish act didn't work on every one. But he was so steamed about not fooling me before that now he is using police officers to try to put on another performance to joke us all. Rich boy, high classed snob.
Rolf: Just look at these pictures me and the other officers took at the scene.
(Tim takes the pictures and nearly vomits at the sight)
Tim: This can’t be. It has to be Photoshop or a dummy you can’t even see the face just the body. Rolf: It’s no joke. That’s him for real. The body is still up at the mansion and if you don’t believe me you can check for yourself. Scene 3 NYC- Richard Cory’s Mansion-9:19 p.m. (everyone walks into the room of the crime scene and In the middle of the room is an irregular shape covered with a cloth) Rolf: Come on now it’s this way. Tom: Has word gotten out about his death? Rolf: Not yet but it won’t be long before some one leaks the info to the public. Katie: You mean like us? Tim: Who cares? It’s time to see the truth. Fact or fiction. (Tim walks over to the shape and rips the cloth off it with a smirk) (Tim in astonishment yells): What kind of joke is this? Tom: So he really did kill himself. Rolf do you know why? Rolf: Can’t say for sure but a guy like that with no family or friends and the only company he probably ever had was greeting people hello and I guess he couldn’t take it any more and… Tom: He put a bullet through his head. (Katie almost immediately yells towards Tom): You murderer. Tim: What? Me? Katie: Yes you. All he had to look forward to were the people whom he waved high to and you had to snap at him saying that no one cares about him. So your the murderer. Tim: No it’s another act it has to be? Rolf: Now let’s not jump to conclusions, this was just an unforeseen event. Tom: Ya. Tim wouldn’t mean to kill anyone. He isn’t a murderer. Tim: This can’t be happening. (screams: it’s just an act!) (Then Tim starts franticly kicking the body screaming): Wake up! Tom: Tim get a hold of your self. Rolf: Stop that now. (Rolf tackles Tim down and put puts handcuffs on him) (The scene fades out with Katie weeping over the body with Rolf dragging Tim Outside followed by Tom)
